Operation Manual

Instructions for Use
23
• Do not forget to clean also the defrost water
receptacle above the refrigerator compressor
(do not remove the receptacle).
After cleaning, connect the appliance to power
supply and reload the packages.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not In Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for a
longer period, set the thermostat knob to the
STOP (0) position, disconnect the power supply,
take out the foods and defrost and clean the
appliance. Leave the door slightly open.
Trouble-Shooting Guide
During the service, you can come across some
troubles that in most cases result from improper
handling of the appliance and can easy be
eliminated.
The Appliance Fails to Operate After
connecting to the Mains Supply
• Check the supply in the outlet socket and make
sure the appliance is switched on (thermostat in
operating position).
Continuous Operation of the Refrigerating
System
• The door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long.
• The door is not properly closed (the door may
sag, the gasket may be polluted or damaged).
• Perhaps you have overloaded the appliance
with fresh foods.
• The reason may be inadequate ventilation of
the compressor and condenser (assure
adequate air circulation and wipe off the
condenser).
• Continuous operation button activated (see
section Freezing of Food).
Ice Formation on the Inner Rear Wall
As long as the defrost water runs to the channel
and through the opening to the drain pan on the
compressor, automatic defrosting of the
appliance is assured.
In case the ice formation on the inner back wall is
increased (3-5 mm), ice should be manually
defrosted.
Set the thermostat knob to STOP (0) position and
leave the door open. Never use electric devices
for defrosting and do not scrape the ice or frost
layer with sharp objects.
After completed defrosting, turn the knob to
desired position and close the refrigerator door.
The cause of increased ice formation may be one
of the following:
− the door does not seal well (clean the gasket if
it is contaminated, or replace it if it is damaged);
− the door was frequently opened or it was left
opened for too long;
− the food stored in the refrigerator was warm;
− the food or dish is touching the inner back wall.
Water is Leaking From the Refrigerator
In case the discharge water outlet is clogged, or
the defrost water drips over the channel, water
leaks from the refrigerator.
• Clean the clogged opening, for example with a
plastic straw.
• Manually defrost the increased ice layer. See
"Ice Formation on the Inner Back Wall".
The Freezer Door is Hard to Open
If you want to open the door that has just or
recently been closed, you may find it hard to
open. The reason why this happens is, that when
you open the door, warm air gets into the
appliance and when it is getting cool, the
underpressure seals the door. After few minutes
(5-10), the door can easily be opened.
